Man's special wall to hide marijuana from prying eyes

EAGLE eyed detectives proved they can still spot a hydroponic drug set-up in a garage despite a special wall built to hide the marijuana from prying eyes.

But all was revealed when police dropped by the home of Michael Zentveld and had a close look behind the installed wall - even finding 'grow tents'.

Zentveld, 31, pleaded guilty in Bundaberg Magistrates Court to four offences: producing the drug marijuana at Point Vernon on July 26; possession of equipment used in a drug crime; possession of marijuana; and having drug related hydroponic equipment.

It was not explained why the Hervey Bay matters were heard at the Bundaberg court.

Prosecutor Senior Constable Andrew Blunt said when police arrived at the property Zentveld declared he was growing cannabis in the garage and been co-operative.

Snr Cnst Blunt said the two grow tents were behind the wall that obstructed a view from the street.

Five plants were being grown hydroponically, Zentveld saying they were five weeks old.
